The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson

This study offers the first comprehensive account of Emerson's philosophy since his philosophical rehabilitation began in the late 1970s. It builds on the historical reconstruction proposed in the author's previous book Emerson's Metaphysics and like that study draws on the entire Emerson corpus—the poetry and sermons included. The aim here is expository. The overall though not exclusive emphasis is on identity as the first term of Emerson's metaphysics of identity and flowing or metamorphosis. This metaphysics or general conception of the nature of reality is what grounds his epistemology and ethics as well as his esthetic religious and political thought. Acknowledging its primacy enables a general account like this to avoid the anti-realist overemphasis on epistemology and language that has often characterized rehabilitation readings of his philosophy. After an initial chapter on Emerson's metaphysics the subsequent chapters devoted to the other branches of his thought also begin with their necessary foundation in identity which is the law of things and the law of mind alike. Perception of identity in metamorphosis is what characterizes the philosopher the poet the scientist the reformer and the man of faith and virtue. Identity of mind and world is felt in what Emerson calls the moral sentiment. Identity is Emerson's answer to the Sphinx-riddle of life experienced as a puzzling succession of facts and events. | The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson

On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R. Greenson

On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R. Greenson

The author was perhaps psychoanalysis's most gifted and eloquent spokesperson. In this volume the author is presented in one of the roles he enjoyed most: communicating to a lay audience his understanding of people and life and his insights into the science and art of psychoanalysis. These important talks profoundly influenced countless professional workers and lay people. The twenty-four public lectures in this remarkable collection are each a gem of wisdom and humor. With deep psychoanalytic wisdom the author addresses such timeless and universal human concerns as love and emotional development; hate aggression and war; masculinity femininity and sexuality; jealousy envy and possessiveness; and the vicissitudes of child rearing and family development. Reading these entertaining public talks of the author now is like reading a chronicle of the great psychosocial issues of the past half-century. One is impressed with not only the wisdom they offer for our current concerns but also with how revolutionary original and prophetic was his thinking. | On Loving Hating and Living Well The Public Psychoanalytic Lectures of Ralph R.

Unhappy Beginnings Narratives of Precarity Failure and Resistance in North American Texts

Unhappy Beginnings Narratives of Precarity Failure and Resistance in North American Texts

This book offers the analysis of a selection of North American texts that dismantle and resist normative frames through the resignification of concepts such as unhappiness precarity failure and vulnerability. The chapters bring to the fore how those potentially negative elements can be refigured as ambivalent sites of resistance and social bonding. Following Sara Ahmed’s rereading of happiness other authors such as Judith Butler Wendy Brown Jack Halberstam Lauren Berlant or Henry Giroux are mobilized to interrogate films memoirs and novels that deal with precarity alienation and inequality. The monograph contributes to enlarging the archives of unhappiness by changing the focus from prescribed norms and happy endings to unruly practices and unhappy beginnings. As the different contributors show unhappiness precarity vulnerability or failure can be harnessed to illuminate ways of navigating the world and framing society that do not necessarily conform to the script of happiness—whatever that means. | Unhappy Beginnings Narratives of Precarity Failure and Resistance in North American Texts

Genealogies of Emotions Intimacies and Desire Theories of Changes in Emotional Regimes from Medieval Society to Late Modernity

Genealogies of Emotions Intimacies and Desire Theories of Changes in Emotional Regimes from Medieval Society to Late Modernity

Genealogies of Emotions Intimacies and Desire excavates epistemologies which attempt to explain changes in emotional regimes from medieval society to late modernity. Key in this debate is the concept of intimacy. The book shows that different historical periods are characterized by emotional regimes where intimacy in the form of desire sex passion and sex largely exist outside marriage and that marriage and traditional normative values and structures are fundamentally incompatible with the expression of intimacy in the history of emotional regimes. The book draws on the work of a number of theorists who assess change in emotional regimes by drawing on intimacy including Michel Foucault Eva Illouz Lauren Berlant Anthony Giddens Laura Ann Stoler Anne McClintock Niklas Luhmann and David Shumway. Some of the areas covered by the book include: Foucault sex and sexuality; romantic and courtly love; intimacy in late modernity; Imperial power gender and intimacy intimacy and feminist interventions; and the commercialization of intimacy. This book will appeal to students and scholars in the social sciences and humanities including sociology gender studies cultural studies and literary studies. | Genealogies of Emotions Intimacies and Desire Theories of Changes in Emotional Regimes from Medieval Society to Late Modernity

A Climate of Risk Precautionary Principles Catastrophes and Climate Change

A Climate of Risk Precautionary Principles Catastrophes and Climate Change

We are living in a climate of risk. Our way of life imposes risks on ourselves and others. We are causing climatic changes that have the potential to change radically the conditions under which both we – the present generation – and future generations will live. While we are now quite certain that climate change is happening we are unsure of exactly what will happen and when given different emissions and policy scenarios. We are therefore in a position where we must decide what to do about the risks climate change threatens in the face of a range of uncertainties In this book Lauren Hartzell-Nichols provides guidance in the face of this uncertainty by offering an in-depth discussion of how and why we ought to take a precautionary approach to climate policy namely by appeal to a Catastrophic Precautionary Principle and Catastrophic Precautionary Decision-Making Framework. By examining the way in which climate change is harmful Hartzell-Nichols shows how precaution does have a meaningful role to play in moving climate policy forward if we reconsider what precaution is about before too quickly appealing to precaution as a reason or justification for action. A Climate of Risk takes a philosophically grounded interdisciplinary approach that will appeal to a broad scholarly and policy-oriented audience. Hartzell-Nichols’s reinterpretation of the precautionary principle enables precaution to be more effectively leveraged as a driver of action on climate change. | A Climate of Risk Precautionary Principles Catastrophes and Climate Change

Demand and Supply

Demand and Supply

First published in 1971 Demand and Supply is an introduction to the economics of resource allocation often known as micro-economics. Ralph Turvey examines how the economy really works and does not just give the economists’ textbook version which oversimplifies technology and exaggerates the importance of prices in adjusting supply and demand. Instead of offering theoretical diagrams and imaginary examples he refrains from expounding those ideas that cannot be simply demonstrated or applied. But he includes sections on retail margins urban land values and the value of time – topics rarely dealt with in beginner’s books. Some examples of the examples are: university teachers’ pay; cotton spinning costs; pricing of tin cans; demand for farm tractors; newspaper economics; competition in the bus industry. This is the kind of economics used in practice and rests on down to earth fact finding. This book will be useful for both general readers and A- level and first year university students.

Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

This is the first book to offer a thorough examination of the relationship that Stanley Cavell’s celebrated philosophical work has to the ways in which the United States has been imagined and articulated in its literature. Establishing the contours of Cavell’s most significant readings of American philosophical and cultural activity the volume explores how his philosophy and the kind of reading it demands have an important relation to broader considerations of the American national imaginary. Focused coherent and original essays from a wide range of philosophers and critics consider how his investigations of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson for example represent a sustained engagement with the ways in which philosophy might provide us with new ways of thinking and of living. This is the first detailed and comprehensive treatment of America as a category of enquiry in Cavell’s writing engaging with the terms of Cavell’s various configurations of the nation and offering readings of American texts that illustrate the possibilities that Cavell’s work has in turn for literary and film criticism. This study of the role played by philosophy in the articulation of the American self-imaginary highlights the ways in which the reading of literature and the practice of philosophy are conjoined in the ethical and political project of national self-definition. | Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation

Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation

The physical design flow of any project depends upon the size of the design the technology the number of designers the clock frequency and the time to do the design. As technology advances and design-styles change physical design flows are constantly reinvented as traditional phases are removed and new ones are added to accommodate changes in technology. Handbook of Algorithms for Physical Design Automation provides a detailed overview of VLSI physical design automation emphasizing state-of-the-art techniques trends and improvements that have emerged during the previous decade. After a brief introduction to the modern physical design problem basic algorithmic techniques and partitioning the book discusses significant advances in floorplanning representations and describes recent formulations of the floorplanning problem. The text also addresses issues of placement net layout and optimization routing multiple signal nets manufacturability physical synthesis special nets and designing for specialized technologies. It includes a personal perspective from Ralph Otten as he looks back on the major technical milestones in the history of physical design automation. Although several books on this topic are currently available most are either too broad or out of date. Alternatively proceedings and journal articles are valuable resources for researchers in this area but the material is widely dispersed in the literature. This handbook pulls together a broad variety of perspectives on the most challenging problems in the field and focuses on emerging problems and research results.
